Right arm pain in morning
I've been having pain in my right arm between shoulder and elbow when I awake in the morning. Been going on for one to two months. I sleep on my left side and have been previously diagnosed with with several fractured vertebrae in my mid/upper back and extensive osteoporosis. Pain usually subside within an hour or two but this morning was severe.
